There’s not really a story behind this moment, just one of a hundred or so shots I took of my niece and my dad (her “Pops”) while we were having lunch at Mather Lodge on top of Petit Jean State Park. Something seemed to spark a moment of concern in her, but it didn’t last long – I guess this is how it goes when you are 6. Some things weight so heavy on you, because there’s still so much that’s confusing, so much to figure out. But at the same time, those concerns don’t have to hang out long, because you feel secure and loved and cared for. And ice cream was on the way. Love this little girl’s eyes though. For a long time now, and a long time to come.
